Forgive me if that is already implemented --- I'm reading these out of order. Feminist of the week would be much less depressing and pointless.

Unfortunately it kinda validates his point. The interesting and puzzling thing to me is the way Roissy revels in misogyny, and yet plenty of women still play along in his comments section.

He is secretly a nice, respectful guy who loves women. His blog strategy is to knowingly promote girl-repelling assholism disguised as "alpha" methods so that his readers piss off all the girls in DC, then he can swoop in and charm them. Also, I'm the biggest feminazi in existence but sometimes he makes me laugh. I know, I should have my card taken away. I think I've finally figured Roissy out.

Which is not pretty flowers and unicorns. Max clearly loves these women more than you do, would YOU have sex with someone disabled and pridefully display it to the world? You're despising sexual expression here and I've heard women use the same terminology when talking about it, are they chauvinist or just sexual? You're validating Linda H's point here, which is repressing male sexuality on a hypocritical basis. It's a very wierd, tenuous thing to attack when you're talking about misogyny: it looks like you're attacking the language rather than the acts, which can smack of objectification. Linda H in that article was asking women to use their strength to take some responsibility for protecting themselves, not expecting the patriarchy to do it magically for them. She postulates that this shows how women ARE physically vulnerable, despite any denial about this. I've had a friend finally step up as having been abused and it turns out much older members of her family had it done to them, too. It sits on your conscience and is obviously the right thing to do, if not the easy one. She was talking about acknowledging hypocritical truths of ostensibly feminist behaviour, rather than saying 'rape is a woman's fault' misogynistically. You're putting words in her mouth which aren't there. Next time, use an extract that will actually convince me she's misogynist. There's plenty of stuff that's actually misogynist, if you bother to find it. This post was lazy and biased apparently on previous interpretations of what the posters said than what they are currently saying. Here, let me do some of your your work for you: http://roissy.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/washington-post-fembot-tells-cuckold-suck-it-up/ http://roissy.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/hero/ http://www.tuckermax.com/archives/entries/date/the_almost_banned_miss_vermont_story.phtml They're talking about having sex.
